Jeep Compass headlight bulbs utilize multiple sizes including D3S, 9005, D5S, and H11 depending on beam type and model generation. The replacement chart covers 2007 through 2021 production years with corresponding bulb size specifications for high and low beam applications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
ECE standard (Europe & worldwide). Mercury-free HID (xenon) discharge bulb with PK32d-5 base and integral ignitor, for projector-type housings. 42V, 35W.
The Jeep Compass headlight specifications reference five distinct bulb types across its model years: D3S, D5S, 9005, 9008, and H11. Three of these are HID (xenon) discharge types, while the remaining two are halogen filament types.
The 9008 bulb is a dual-filament halogen type operating at 12V with a P26t base and rated at 65W for high beam and 55W for low beam. Its dual-filament construction allows a single bulb to serve both beam functions, which is reflected in the Jeep Compass (2007-2010) specifications, where the same 9008 size is listed for both high and low beam positions.
From 2011 onward, the Compass transitions away from the 9008 to separate bulb types for each beam position. High beam and low beam functions are handled by distinct bulbs rather than a single dual-filament unit.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb with a P20d base, rated at 12V and 65W under the ANSI standard. It appears as the high beam bulb in halogen-equipped Compass models across the 2011-2021 range, making it the most consistently recurring halogen high beam specification in these listings.
H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb with a PGJ19-2 base, rated at 12V and 55W under the ECE standard. It serves as the low beam bulb in halogen-equipped Compass models from 2011-2021, pairing with the 9005 in non-HID configurations.
The D5S is a compact low-voltage HID bulb with a PK32d-7 base, rated at 12V and 25W. It appears in HID-equipped Compass models from 2017-2020 for both high and low beam positions, and is noted as a low-voltage type distinct from conventional high-voltage HID designs.
The D3S is a mercury-free HID bulb with a PK32d-5 base and an integral ignitor, rated at 42V and 35W. It is specified for the 2021 Compass with HID headlights, replacing the D5S used in prior HID configurations. The PK32d-5 and PK32d-7 bases are not interchangeable, meaning D3S and D5S bulbs cannot be substituted for one another despite both being HID discharge types.
Within the same model year, halogen and HID configurations use entirely different bulb types for both beam positions. A 2019-2020 HID-equipped Compass requires D5S bulbs, while the halogen variant of the same year requires 9005 for high beam and H11 for low beam. These fitments are not interchangeable across headlight system types.
